The aim of this paper is to investigate the psychometric properties of Self-Leadership Questionnaire (SLQ) developed by Anderson and Prussia (1997) and then revised and validated by Houghton and Neck (2002) (Revised Self Leadership Questionnaire-RSLQ). The study sample consists of three different employee groups from the Defense Industry in Ankara. In the first stage, with a small sample, a pilot study was conducted to investigate the items' validity. The factor structure was explored again with sample two and samples three by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The data failed to support the full ninefactor model while confirmatory factor analysis showed evidence for the three-factor model (behavior-focused strategies, natural reward strategies and constructive thought pattern strategies) with eight subscales. Two of the factors from the original scale emerged as a new factor named as "self-goal setting while visualizing successful performance" in this study. The new factor model appears to show evidence for being statistically significant and supports the scale's construct validity. The psychometric data suggests that a modified version of the Turkish SLQ is a reliable and valid scale for use with a Turkish Defense Industry sample.
